the armed forces. and the police. will avenge our malta's. and restore security. as soon as possible eleven federal couldn't let that been. the egyptian president spoke after militants stormed the isle road the mosque in bureau a bid. in what was the deadliest attack in egypt's modern history. around forty gunman surrounded the building and set off the bomb. before opening fire on worshippers would gathered for weekly friday prayers. according to several sources the mosque was unknown gathering place for suu fees followers of a mystical branch of islam who are often considered heretic's by muslim hardliners. ambulances rushed to the scene to carry the wounded to hospital. and there were reports the attackers also fired at paramedics. egyptian authorities declared three days of national mourning following the carnage. egypt has been battling the islamic state group in northern sinai. where militants have already killed hundreds of policemen

and soldiers and carried out attacks against local tribes and christian churches? little iran as they to egypt's ambassador to france a a diary. and i started by asking him what the perpetrators of this attack. applause we trying to achieve. as far as what they are seeking is de dividing this the egyptian of society. and having a civil war. they started by attacking the us christians. copts in their own churches. now they are attacking the muslims and their own mosques. and the as you're well aware they are attacking locals who are combating terrorism so they are attacking of police forces our army. soldiers and officers but also that i think you know what drug truth. who are the of trying to that let them pay for their deeds? nichols this region all of egypt north sinai is no

stranger unfortunately to these. kinds all all of attack that clearly the efforts up until this point haven't necessarily. had the desired effect of stamping out the threats posed by those groups in that particular area the sinai region. of egypt why you think that is. alright but let me just because joining the sinai. peninsula because the the finite each and and we're talking about the de and any of that is six times. the size of lebanon. there and for the most of it is the quite secure. there but that that is a very very dangerous zone. that triangle de latisha for her shakes to it. and this is where the this loss attack could. happen. the we are. at this point in time and we consider that you are having something like fifteen hundred terrorists. it more or less in this area

a ie just wish to remind you that when we. got site my her back from the muslim brotherhood. would in power to in twenty twelve. the estimate was there to use to have twenty five thousand tetanus. so. i hope that in the coming months. we would be. having guess i my back as it used to be the talk to b. secure sixty thousand square kilometers. you'll president abd in photos see ce is due to speak to the u. s. president donald trump in the next half an hour or so later. a in what ways do you think americorps did any other country the wealth can help egypt's. at this time in this battle against these extremists ambassador. solidarity and cooperation. and the i can tell you that at some point in time. egypt was combating terrorism and was in need of some equipment some military equipment that proved to be

extremely efficient. and. it couldn't get that. the. we need to cooperate together that is the of those terrorist groups are to get think finances. and the those finance and should be stopped there are countries that are supporting terrorism more than we like it or not. whether they say it or not there is a financial support that are there the training camps. that are existing and some of the other countries and. that is definitely that they need for an international corporation and that three guards. that takes into consideration all of these elements. and that was the egyptian ambassador to france you have a dhabi speaking to me. a just a short while ago. who for more analysis we can speak now to egyptian sociologist arlie on roe who joins us from alexandria thank youu so much for speaking to us? that we just heard day from the egyptian ambassador to france

describing. this particularly dangerous corner of north sinai andnde told me that there's only around fifteen hundred terrorists in that area so why do you think it is. that this is proving to be such a difficult problem of egyptian security forces to route house ali. well there is an information vacuum are in that region so you don't actually yeah we don't have many sources of information. except well usually comes through our official channels it's such a. bomb but. isis is will of pundits and they do have that the networks and. i even at some time some tribal loyalties which they can manipulate. other means yeah i'll come. none of this is that. you know what you have secured sources dying recently and i've had this attack. was so the question everyone is asking is that something offering done

right if. this is one of the largest a massacre. by terrorist massacre in more modern egyptian history and cancer place. sorcery often holding dozens more and more in the mood to dance around. and then the policies and. security investments are not really all seem. bought a little it's a safety that would one one would expect. okay really wall the any militant organization is trying to do by targeting of minority religious groups namely christians and now suu fees. is the try to fracture. the egyptian society that's also will be an egyptian ambassador was just saying that. other any signs that they're having any success is is egyptian society in your view showing any signs of being. more fractured as a result of these. kinds of attacks so perhaps more resolute to more united and it won't be divided. i think i urge good solstice us so it's really irreversible special of groom. at bedroom and so when this happens it just

adds. to the despair that already exists in society. i number lists or people although. i would say. well our. quentin against it you are united against its like it were on of the church attacks. the public discourse is gone indicating that's. also i mean the stuff united divisions of course against such horror. land also ran into sufism is not re-attempt. in in e egypt is not. about what you might see this phenomenon saudi arabia but you don't really see this. nonow in egypt. other than its out out states party will soon because it's all this rhetoric. m.. but i i think missing also a fatal logicic we've seen si. mubarak days when neededd secure becauause certain terrororist. targets sock puppets made i think whistle targets like churches. super shrines. while it because it away or not just destabilizing. wild web mistake in sociciety as

things that charge anywhere. but also to come up fofor te leverage old city of jerusalem. cash flow. to the country. okay nichols all of this a big test for. president topped of thought that c. see this is exactly to kind of thing he. vowed he was going to stamp out what he became presiden. and thirty signs that the in patience is wearing thin in egypt's that the people are simply running out of patience. with president cc for not delivering on that promise of. stomping this problem out once and for all. bubut the proroblem is secuy that it comess an excellllet flows our. immediate concern oneople's are. more mouths is beyond. examplee.ng food pririces fr t the the jusust the generl rising cost t of living. was so it's not this they don't they don't concern is that out but it just doesn't seem to. wewelcome back i to a. . thl

prprobably given that's this still a lot of egyptians or in some sort of survival mechanism. by then so but it is it is a quesestion that t is this certainly raises. of w whats happenening while two thousd seventeen are you still seeing this.. ou eyes is two thousand nineteen going to be more of this so these are quite valid questions. okay well thank you so much for sharing that with us saudi outgrow education sociologist speaking to us there. from alexander thanks agai. we will now to some of the world news police in london say that the situation in the central oxford circus area of the city has now come to an end there were no casualties reported. earlier on the scenes of panic as shoppers. who rule out in full force on this black friday dropped their bags and ran a has the nearby chief stations were evacuated and people urged heading towards? well the police have responded to this incident as if it could have been a terrorist related incident. and that included the deployments of on offices will despite earlier reports to the country police it is no evidence that any shots
